Saju is the book that the fortune tellers use to predict the future using the four (Sa) pillars (Ju): year, month, day, and hour.
2. Describe your group's reaction to the teacher's visit to the Korean fortune-teller.
Our group was initially kind of surprised and not expectant of the reaction of the teacher to the fortune-teller. After this initial reaction, we began to see that we recognized this type of Shamanism. Like the teacher, we were surprised as well.

3. Why did the Korean University professor arrange the visit?
The Korean University professor, despite not believing in the fortune-teller itself, arranged the visit because he wanted the man to experience something part of the Korean culture. Perhaps a little curiosity of what the fortune-teller would say plays a role in having the visit arranged but it is mostly the idea of having the man exposed to Korean traditions.
4. List three questions you would ask the teacher to ask the fortune-teller.
When should I get married? What time of year would be good for marriage?
I am planning to move into a Korean apartment. Would this place be a good place to live? Where would be a good place to live?
How is this year's Korean SAT going to turn it out? Will it turn out well? I hope so.

It guides us and gives us a sense of hope in this world when we are lost. As human beings, it is only natural to want to have some sort of organization in our lives and guidelines. Given, we can guide ourselves through this word independently but it is only a matter of time that our minds would have to evolve and grow.
